Thierry Henry

Sweet revenge: Why beating Chelsea was my favourite FA Cup success

"We know our limitations – we could have used the ball better but today was about taking them to Home Park.
"It would be really naive from my point of view to tell my players to play up against Liverpool. They have world class players – it was about allowing them to have the ball.

"We stopped the space and it worked very well today.

"We knew the kind of team they were going to play but it was about closing down the space. We had two or three opportunities in the game and we didn’t take them but were delighted to take them back to Plymouth.

"We stopped them, negated the space – we didn’t make many passes but that’s not the aim of the game. The aim of the game is to be in the match."

Liverpool named their youngest side ever in their club's history for the clash, with Klopp making 10 changes.

And despite it being defence versus attack for most of the game, the German manager didn't seem too downhearted as he looked forward to his first trip to Plymouth.

He said: "This team could have played much better but we didn’t, we could have won with a little bit of luck, that was the situation
"We go to Plymouth, the first time in my life, all good!

Emre Can was one of a handful of regular first-teamers to play in today's FA Cup draw with Plymouth

"You need to stay cool in situations and be patient – that’s the biggest challenge, to play against a deep-defending size

"The smaller they can make spaces the less obvious the difference in quality is. We could have used speed more though, yes, it’s how it is. They are young boys and its not a problem.
"We will try it again against Plymouth."

The two will do battle again on either Tuesday, January 17 or Wednesday, January 18.
